you and everyone else still using this tired response are douchebags. Regardless who you are replying to or how much of a troll they may be...once you say "go back to wow, you become the idiot.

Who let you in the VIP section?
I wish the combat was more like WOW but for them to fix it they'd have to completly redo all the classes and skills.
What is it that everyone doesn't like about the combat? I think it is perfect pace. You don't die so quick that you wonder what the hell just happen but you aso won't survive a zerg for long. I think it works just great.
there is no fixing to do.
WAR is not ******* WoW. GET THAT IN YOUR HEAD.
Kindly go back to WoW if you want no collision detection, one shot kills and 2-3 second battles .
The kind of combat seen in WAR was very successful in games like Everquest and DaoC. So stop complaining.

I'd like the combat to be more like old school DAOC, but that isn't going to happen.

This seems like a trolling post to me.
If you're not a troll, come up with some actual point, aka why is the combat bad. You have no point unless you actually make one.

Its boring and repetetive,it just does'nt feel right.
Kind of vague... while I will admit at first the combat system seemed a bit slower than what I was used to, I have gotten used to it.
What issues are you speaking of.
The real issues with combat are some animations and pathing issues.
It seems you dont like the combat dynamics and style, if these are your reasons, I think it is a matter of personal taste and not exacly some kind of flaw.
...
So your calling me a Troll because I dont like the Combat ,and I clearly stated that I liked everything else about the game ?
Its boring and repetetive,it just does'nt feel right.
Isnt all combat in all mmo's repetetive? From UO - AC - DAOC - EQ - EQ2 - WoW - AOC etc etc... in a certain level range you use the same 5 -10 skills... if your pvping, your methods of doing damage, countering damage, etc are fixed based on level, and as you fight for long periods of time in between levels... your going to be doing the same stuff.
However, WAR seems to havea nice number of spells, and the rune priest has more than I used on my cleric at end game in DAOC... so Im happy.
Old school combat system? Oh, you mean last generation crappy gameplay which is outdated and originated only several years after the flippin internet was created?
We want WoW like cohesive combat because it feels good. If you like clunky, unresponsive combat that makes it impossible to tell what's going on then so bet it. At least in WoW you could tell when you got crit by a shadow bolt or hit someone with a backstab. In this game it's just you wandering around next to people. Literally.

You know I soooo want to love this game and I've been in Beta since the very beginning, I want the Combat to be dynamic and Exciting , and I agree alot of other Mmo's have repetitive Combat. But I think there is two types of repetitive, addictive repetitive and boring repetitive. And for me the Combat in WAR just does'nt have the Hook or feel to draw you in.
Hehe i read this and laughed you know why i thought bet your a young pup and i was right.
kids like you never knew when games were about tactics and fun,
where to keep people intrested you actualy had to think and work at stuff, the graphics were pants but the game play was what made games.
todays games could seriously do with having a good look at older stuff they might learn some thing about creating a game what actualy was fun.
no, whoever called you a troll was because you just plainly stated 'i don't like the combat'. Just say why. 'it just doesn't feel right' isn't really an explanation, and its also been said in this post that they want the combat 'like wow' then why not go back to wow then? wow and war are clearly two different games.

I dont like combat UI and many other things but I like rvr and thats all that matters right now is for them to make sure game dont crash and rvr works everything else can be fixed later.
I love how threads like these have no substance.
They claim something sucks in one sentance then click "Post." How does combat suck? If you're going to sya so that's acceptable, as long as you give reasons which you have not.

I am going to have to throw a big yes sir your way. UO combat was supreme even in its time, and its still good today. What I think Big boss was trying to say is the look of combat, meaning the flow or motion of it. Now in any game there has to be a way everything moves. In Warcraft, even though I have not played it myself, I have seen the animations and the character movement and everything is smooth, but the combat just does not look like it has that pump to it. Its the opposite for UO, I hated the movement and tracking of UO, but the combat kept you going the whole time, as did the rest of the game. Ill have to look at some videos of Warhammer, because I do not think ill be able to shell out the extra cash this coming month to buy it, but if what he says is true that it might just be in need of some "Hit" animations.
For example getting hit a character moving back or what not, but again I have yet to see any good combat videos for the game, so time will tell. The game is still in closed beta too I believe and although people dont like to admit it, that makes a big difference from a released game.

Combat response was fixed last week and unless you are looking through rose coloured glasses plays exactly the same as WoW. What WAR is in need of is some bug squashing love, not sure Sept 18 is enough time given how few of the known bugs have been corrected even in the last month. Most of the current beta focus is on server scaling and end game content. No show stoppers for me, but no where near WoW/LotRO/EQ2 polish levels.
I am getting sick and tired of WoW or any other game besides the one we are talking about being thrown into any forum.
I like all games in some way, who gives a Sh*t to compare them. If you like it or don't, no one cares.

WAR is great for beta, I THINK THE ONLY THING WRONG WITH WAR ( NOT GOING TO BRING UP WOW) IS LACK OF HEALING!!!!!!!
Once and a while during some baddass pvp moments, as a Swordmaster, I only been healed once or twice. I looked at the roster and out of the 12 or so, only one healer on our side.
See, no smack talk of WoW. NOT HARD TO DO,
But I have intercourse with infants.
you and everyone else still using this tired response are douchebags. Regardless who you are replying to or how much of a troll they may be...once you say "go back to wow, you become the idiot.
I have not played the game, but I hope the combat animations are better than EQ2. EQ2 was stale...the movements chunky, and the charaters had not life while they were fighting. EQ2 might has just had a button to start combat and then random number roll and you just fall over dead of the mob does.
